Wow this is truly a GENIOUS poem by Jonathan Reed! It needs to be read twice! Youll see why when you reach last line :) I am part of a lost generation and I refuse to believe that I can change the world I realize this may be a shock but “Happiness comes from within.” is a lie, and “Money will make me happy.” So in 30 years I will tell my children They are not the most important thing in my life My employer will know that I have my priorities straight because work is more important than family I tell you this Once upon a time Families stayed together But this will not be true in my era This is a quick fix society Experts tell me 30 years from now, I will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of my divorce I do not concede that I will live in a country of my own making In the future Environmental destruction will be the norm No longer can it be said that My peers and I care about this earth It will be evident that My generation is apathetic and lethargic It is foolish to presume that There is hope. Now read it backwards, from last line upwards! Which generation do you choose to be a part of? Until 2011 I believed I was witnessing the 1st scenario and then I decided to be a part of making the 2nd one happen! :) You have a choice too! This poem has two titles - The Lost Generation and There is Hope. Your choice! :) Big Love, Lidija and LCS xxx
